David Aiken

Microsoft Corporation

David Aiken is currently a WorldWide Windows Azure Technical Specialist at Microsoft HQ. He has been working on Windows Azure since January 2008, well before there were bits – helped get earlier adopters onto the platform when deployment was still “send your code to thingy“, and had a few customers featured at PDC 08 & 09. Now David spends his time showing customers how to build apps & services for the cloud.

Before this, he worked on Visual Studio 2008 & .Net Framework 3.5 evangelism, producing demos such as DinnerNow and the Visual Studio training kit. Allegedly, he once claimed you could solve every problem with a single line of PowerShell script.
